Because fallen leaves are drawn under the roots and the white background of the trunk,
so it doesn’t need to cut out according to the shape of the stem.

Make another new layer under the fallen leaves and put a shadow of the root.
The shadow doesn’t need to fit perfectly under the root,
it will create a raised three-dimentional feeling.
